About the hba1c test
HbA1c tells you what your blood sugar has actually been doing for the past two to three months, not just at the moment of the prick. Because glucose sticks permanently to haemoglobin, the percentage that is glycated gives an honest long-term average that cannot be improved by eating carefully for two days before the test. That is why endocrinologists rely on it more than a single fasting reading, and why it is repeated every three to six months for every diagnosed diabetic. It requires no fasting at all, which makes it the easiest diabetes test to do at home.
What the HbA1c test measures
Who usually needs a HbA1c test
- Every diagnosed diabetic — repeat every 3 to 6 months
- Suspected diabetes: excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight loss
- Family history of diabetes — screening from age 30 onwards
- Overweight adults with high BMI or metabolic syndrome
- Anyone with a borderline fasting sugar result
- Before starting or changing diabetic medication
- PCOS patients screening for insulin resistance
Preparation: no fasting needed
No fasting needed — this is the main practical advantage of HbA1c over a fasting sugar test. Collect at any time of day, after any meal.
